Snippets of Wealth - Tues 28th May 2019 - Newbiggin Crags and Farleton Fell - Mountain Everlasting/Angular Solomons Seal/



My first job today and what I have been waiting to do for the past week or so, was to check out the Antennaria dioica (Mountain Everlasting).  An absolutely stunning plant which has yet only recorded from two areas on the Hutton Roof complex.  This population is on the Farleton side of Hutton Roof.  I am showing lots of photos because you do get so much fabulous variation within this species of which the main variants are shown here.

Decided to check out some nearby Polygonatum odoratum (Angular Solomons Seal) which was showing at it's very best.  The population is about 2 metre.
